This workshop will be on relationships and focus on understanding the hurts we experience from friendships, marriages, and parent-child interactions. While God created and designed us to be in relationship with one another, often the very relationships we were intended to have can become a source of deep pain. The good news is that research studies have identified 5 factors that predict the demise of relationships as well as those that contribute to building intimacy. During this workshop I will share clinical tools that can be applied in these moments of pain so that they can be used as opportunities to deepen a sense of connectedness.
